Zend Optimizer is an instrument, which is needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a popular app which is employed to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by lots of organizations that develop paid script apps, so if you obtain such an application for your site, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. In case you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to shield your code and ensure that your website visitors or customers will not be able to alter it in any way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer often perform much better since their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed a lot quicker.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting

If you get a Linux shared hosting service from our company, you can select the PHP release, which will be active for your account based on what your script applications require. You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced area of the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel for all of the versions that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. When you go to this section, you're able to take advantage of a compact software tool that will allow you to control the php.ini file for your account and enable or disable PHP extensions with On and Off buttons, which means that you won't need any previous knowledge since activating Zend Optimizer is as simple as clicking a button. More advanced users will be able to do the same by adding a php.ini file with the needed code in a particular domain folder. If you need any assistance to activate the instrument, you can contact our tech support crew at any time.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can enable Zend Optimizer with every single semi-dedicated server that we offer and it will take you just a few clicks to do this. After you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you have to head to the PHP Configuration section where you'll find various options and On/Off buttons for each of them. Zend is one of these options, so you will not need to do anything more complicated than clicking on its button. Since you can also switch the PHP version for your account from the very same section, you will have to enable Zend for any new version which you use. Of course, we've also left the possibility for more knowledgeable users to set the PHP version as well as the status of Zend Optimizer manually by putting a php.ini file in a particular domain folder. The file will have effect only for this specific website, but not for the web hosting account in general.
